Bug Description
Hello,
the rabbitmq-server package version included in Ubuntu 20.04 will reach its end of life in January 2022. From then on, only RabbitMQ 3.9 will be officially supported by the RabbitMQ company.

I do not know, how Canonical will continue to provide fixes when the mainline is out of support. I am sure there is a strategy for cases like that. Just want to raise attention for this issue and would like to get the strategy explained, so I could give it to my customer for whom I currently do an installation.
Thank you in advance and also for your great work.
Best Regards,
Felix
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to file this bug. This seems to be a recurrent question from users as you can see here [1]. Since rabbitmq-server is in the main component [2], Canonical will keep supporting it for the entire life cycle of the Ubuntu release, we will not move to a newer version but keep monitoring for bugs and backporting security fixes as needed. If you want a newer version you'd need to move to a newer Ubuntu release.
I hope that answers your question.
